someone set me up a system

Edit:


2 mtx 15 thunder 8000's with tunder 1004 ampvs. 2 15" alpine type-r with mrd-m1000 amp



which is better is there another setup for the same price or less that will sound better. 900 is the limit for the 2 15" subs and amp


I want loud but good sound quality at the same time

Check this one out guys...... listen closely......

Two Elemental Designs e15A.22's. $630


That leaves you $270 for an amp. Pwerful amps that will match those subs? Hifonics BX1500D will give you 500WRMS per woofer. The JBL BP1200.1 will give ya 600WRMS a piece, but is less efficent and has less bells and whistels. Not with the extra 100W to me. Or maybe even check out Elemental's selection of amps. For a little more cash, you could get the DB 1800 and probably damn near blow out your back window!! And with the A-series.... sound damn good doing it.

Elemental Designs is a VERY good brand. Just ask around. I bet you don't get even one negative review. The A-series has been compared to the Adire Audio Brahma. Both of which have truely one-of-a-kind SQ. But don't take my word for it. Ask around and you shall see for yourself! If you have $900 to spend on a sub/amp combo, this is the best of both worlds. SQ and SPL. If you are looking to save money....... have you upgraded your other speakers yet? Are they on an amp?

I didnt do anything yet but I was thinking of doing an eclipse 8053 hu. Rockford Fosgate FNQ3614 component speakers with a rockford fosgate punch 400s amp. The whole car will be covered in brown bread. I can get the components for 220 and the amp for 125 would that be a good setup with the 2 e15a.22's powered by the db 1800. Also what else can i do to get rid of vibration i will put 2 layers of brown bread in the trunk but is there anything else i can do i want it to be completely free of rattles.

Can't really comment on the Rockford components. I've never heard them. I am currently using two Rockford amps and am very happy with both. Your best solution for rattles is to seek out exactly what is rattling and wedge something in between the vibrating pieces. Tighten the screw that holds the hatch latch in place. Also, tighten the plastic wingnuts that hold your tail lights tight. Sound deadener is just that. Keeps the music inside while keeping the road noise to a min. Not your best weapon against rattles.

this is probably the best dual 15 setup for a low price


two 15" Resonant Engineering SE dual 4ohm subs.....approx $400

one Hifonics BX1500D (1500watts x1 @ 1ohm)......approx $300

amp wiring kit ......$40


i doubt you will find a louder/cleaner/better looking setup for less money.
